- individuals ability to exert submaximal force repeatedly.- two types:1) STATIC endurance- SUBMAXIMAL force is HELD as long as possible.2) DYNAMIC endurance- MAXIMAL REPS completed at a set percentage of 1 RM or body weight. isokinetic endurace and calisthenic tests (using own weight).3) PUSH UP- chin must touch mat. stomach doesn't.4) CURL UP (crunch)- metronome set at 50 bpm. perform as many curl ups in 1 minute as possible. usually 25.

amount of blood in each ventricle at the end of resting phase.Frank-Starling law, EDV (end diastolic volume) will significantly affect SV because the greater the volume of blood in the ventricle, the greater the stretch imparted on the myocardium. as stretch increases, so does contractile force.

end diastolic- what does it affect?

how many cm in 1 inch?

SDT- what 3 things?

definitions of old age

to release energy, foodstuff that's consumed must be metabolized to yield a high energy compound called ATP. in humans, all mechanical work produced by physical activity relies on the CONTINUOUS supply of ATP.- the manufactured ATP is STORED inside muscles so that it's immediately available to produce movement when a stimulus is given to the muscles.- storage of ATP is LIMITED. if the ATP in the muscle was the only energy available, physical activity would only last for a few seconds.- in the transition from rest to maximal exertion, the energy requirements of the exercising muscle increase a lot so ATP must be constantly RESYNTHESIZED to maintain the energy requirements of the movement.- energy production relies heavily on the resp. and cardiovascular systems for the delivery of OXYGEN and NUTRIENTS and for the removal of waste products to maintain the internal equilibrium of cells.

joint movements and ROM- what actions do joints do?

ATP in anaerobic metabolism

freq: at least 2-3 days/week.int: to the limits of discomfort within ROM, but no further. mild tightness without discomfort.time: 10 minutes. 15-60 seconds/6 sec followed by 10-30 sec assisted for PNF.type: static, dynamic, ballistic or PNF.

- the energy released through hydrolysis of ATP to form ADP and INORGANIC PHOSPHATE (Pi) powers skeletal muscle contractions.- this reaction is catalyzed by the enzyme ATPase: ATP-->(atpase)-->ADP + Pi + energy.- the amount of ATP directly available in the muscle at any time is small so it must be resynthesized continuously if exercise lasts MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS.

reduce ISCHEMIA by reducing myocardial oxygen demand with small increase in oxygen supply. short and long acting forms are used to treat typical and variant ANGINA. nitrates relieve ischemia primarily through vascular smooth muscle relaxation.
